Update information

Hi guys!!

It is finally time to tell you about the changes that happened with us in Bulgaria.

First, our intership in Bulgaria is canceled! yeah, shit happens! It seems the company has financial problems and the decided to close the office in Bansko and end our internship earlier.

At the first time it was a big shock, we were very upset but than we understood that it is even better for us. So, according to Aiesec rules hosting Aiesec should find another internship within 1 month and provide with the accommodation for this time. The company should pay the fees if they cancel internship before the appointed time. In our case they paid us 1/3 of our plane tickets. not perfect but at least something...

So Uliana managed to find internship in Opera software company in Norway and she is already there. The AIESEC in Norway is very strong and the company cares a lot about their trainees
She really enjoys her internship and at last she got what she expected from AIESEC internship.

About me... Well, I am applying for consulting company in Dubai and waiting for the results. Don't know anything yet. If the company doesn't take me then I am back to Bishkek in April. Uliana advises me to apply also for Opera in Norway, we'll see the results ... On the one hand I am upset, but from the other hand I am glad that don't need to stay here alone till June and come back to Bishkek earlier. Besides, anyway'we ve got international experience from a big brand company which is good for CV and able to travel a lot. I am planning now to go to black sea cost of Bugaria and to Greece in the beginnning of April.

So. now u know that you should expect any outcome from your internship and be prepared for it. also, the good point is that hosting AIESEC helped us to fill new EP form and be able to search for another internship.

Yeah and some tips in the end:

1. Sign your contract straight in the beginning of your internship. If anything happened you will always confirm that people are responsible for your internship.

2. Please ask hosting AIESEC to check if the working conditions provided in TN are at your future job. For instance, here we didn't have personal computer and internet and even personal working space. we had to take our laptops with us.

3. ask how many trainees the company had before you. It is better if you are not the first one so they already know what to do with you.

OK, this is all for this moment. if you have questions, please ask
